New "DOS Ain't Done Till Lotus Won't Run"
[link|http://www.proudlyserving.com/archives/2005/08/dos_aint_done_t.html|It's a myth] says AdamBa at Microsoft (from August 1, 2005):

To try to find out the truth, I contacted some old Microsoft hands who were around in the heyday of DOS. The replies were unanimous that Microsoft NEVER attempted to damage 1-2-3's functionality within DOS. Quite the opposite, in fact. [...]


FWIW.

Lots of comments, as you might imagine. (An amazing amount of comment spam too.)

Cheers,
Scott.
